Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Jerry Gardner asks, I know that you have people from all over the world who listen to your podcast. I’m curious, is your podcast just distributed in the English language? Or is there an app or people that translates the podcast into different languages? The podcast is only distributed in English. Overwhelmingly, the people who listen to the podcast live in English-speaking countries: The United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Publishing the show in another language is possible, but it would require a lot of work, and the business case for it isn’t very good.

There are AI tools that will automatically translate the show, but I have no desire to do that.

Hiring someone to do a native translation probably wouldn’t be economical, given how non-English podcast advertising works.

I have heard of some podcasts that do translations, but there aren’t many, and I haven’t heard that they’ve had much success.
